Teacher will read aloud from a chart that asks questions about explicit information in the story “The Rule,” in __The Stories Huey Tells__ by Ann Cameron (see Direct Teaching and Guided Practice Example Chart in Teacher and Student Materials below). Teacher will begin to read “The Rule” aloud. Teacher will note that the answers to my first three questions are “right there” in the text. Teacher will model answering the first three questions as the text is read aloud. > Ask: "How did I find the answers to the questions?" Students should respond that you first read the questions, then read the text, and looked right in the text for the answers. > Students and teacher will continue reading “The Rule” in __The Stories Huey Tells__ and answer the remaining questions on the chart as we read. We will read “Chef Huey” in __The Stories Huey Tells__.
